I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (6 years built) in Bedmond. The vast majority the properties have already been sold. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Bedmond?

Conveyancing Searches are a vital link in the Bedmond conveyancing process. There are numerous companies delivering Bedmond conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are usually referred to as personal search organisation and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their information from the local authoritative source.

Me and my brother own a semi-detached Victorian house in Bedmond. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bedmond and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

Taking into account that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a property in Bedmond I wish to talk to a solicitor regarding thehome move before instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

What makes a Bedmond lease defective?

Leasehold conveyancing in Bedmond is not unique. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the property

A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Lloyds TSB Bank, Chelsea Building Society, and Barclays Direct all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
